The staff were very attentive, making sure everything was to our liking. It was my birthday and the staff having realised this went over and above when the waitress appeared with a small cake and candle and sang happy birthday. Absolutely delighted with every part of the service to the food. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Raj explained the menu options and answered any questions we had about the dishes. The food was simply the best we have tasted in years, full of flavour and the lamb and the chicken were succulent and melt in the mouth. Service was efficient without feeling rushed and we will definitely return. Honestly can’t fault anything.

We were made very welcome by the friendly staff. Service was excellent & not intrusive at all. Lovely, comfortable surroundings & traditional music added to the experience. The Chef even stepped up to my husband’s request for his favourite onion & chilli naan… not even on the menu. 1st class. We’ll be back. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality. Highly recommend.

I must say, I've been going here on and off for years and always been very happy. My friend said they had a new chef and food was wonderful, so, I thought I'd call by once more. There were several things I didn't like I'm afraid to say. The music was way too loud (and not to my taste, but that's not their fault), lights were too bright and the food was not only bland, but just tasteless. They may have had a off night, or perhaps it was what I chose (I went for something I don't usually have), but even my husbands meal was just like chicken in oily tomato sauce. The girl who served was very nice and friendly, but none of the staff were wearing masks, and when the girl cleared tables, she didn't sanitize! That is unforgivable in this present climate. So, I'm afraid Ashoka Southside, I will not be back for a long time, sorry.
